nano SIM card
HTC Butterfly 2 uses a nano SIM card.
Use a standard nano SIM card only. Inserting a modified card that is thicker than the
standard nano SIM card may cause the card to not fit properly or damage the card
slot.
Inserting a nano SIM card
With HTC Butterfly 2 facing up, the nano SIM slot is on the right side.
1. Insert your fingertip in the small opening on the right side of HTC Butterfly 2,
and then pull the nano SIM tray out.
2. Make sure HTC Butterfly 2 and the nano SIM tray are facing up.
3. Place the nano SIM card into the tray, with the card’s gold contacts facing down
and cut-off corner facing out.
11 Unboxing

4. To reinsert the nano SIM tray, center it first in the slot, and then slide it all the
way in.
5. Slide your finger several times across the cover that’s attached to the nano SIM
tray, to ensure that it’s closed evenly and firmly.
Make sure the cover doesn’t protrude from the side.
Removing a nano SIM card

tray, to ensure that it’s closed evenly and firmly.
Make sure the cover doesn’t protrude from the side.
Storage card
Use a storage card to store your photos, videos, and music. When you need to free up
phone storage space, you can also move certain apps to the storage card, if the apps
support this feature.
The storage card is optional and sold separately.
§Moving apps to the storage card doesn't back up the apps. If you do a factory
reset, your phone loses the apps. You'll need to reinstall them.
§When you remove the storage card and insert it in another phone, the apps on the
storage card won't be installed automatically to the other phone. You'll need to
reinstall them.

Before you turn on and start using HTC Butterfly 2, it is recommended that you
charge the battery.
§If the battery has been discharged for several days, you may need to charge
HTC Butterfly 2 for several minutes before powering it on.
§Use only the adapter and the USB cable that came with HTC Butterfly 2 to charge
the battery. When the battery power is too low, make sure to use the power
adapter to charge, not the USB cable connection with your computer.
1. Insert the small end of the USB cable into the USB connector.
2. Insert the other end of the USB cable into the power adapter.
3. Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.

Also, avoid charging the battery in hot environments.

become warmer. This is normal.
§To conserve energy, unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet after you
finish charging.

Phone setup and transfer
Setting up your new phone for the first time
When you switch on your new phone for the first time, you’ll be asked to set it up.
You can enable TalkBack to navigate by voice feedback before selecting the
language. Press and hold two fingers on the screen until you hear a message saying
that accessibility mode is enabled.
Walk through the on-device setup to choose your Internet connection, sign in to your
accounts, and more.
There are different options you can choose to set up your new phone:
§If you don't plan to restore a previous backup from your online storage, you can
use the HTC Get Started service to first personalize your new phone and set up
your accounts from your computer.
On the Fast and easy setup screen, tap I want to use Get Started. Your phone
will show you the URL of the HTC Get Started site and a pair code. On your
computer's web browser, just go to the URL and enter the pair code to start
your web setup. Save your setup to your HTC Account so you can download
your personalized settings to your phone.
If you already finished the HTC Get Started setup before turning on your new
phone, just download your web setup.
§If you have content from another phone that you want to transfer, whether it's
from an Android™or other phone, select Get content from old phone.
§If you have a previous phone backup that you want to restore from your online
storage, select Restore from HTC Backup.
To make it easier for you to back up and restore content from HTC Butterfly 2 to
another HTC phone in the future, select Back up phone daily.
Some features that need to connect to the Internet such as location-based services
and auto-sync of your online accounts may incur extra data fees. To avoid incurring
data fees, disable these features under Settings. For more information on location
services, see Turning location services on or off on page 173.

Restoring your backup from your online
storage
If you used HTC Backup before, you can restore your backup to HTC Butterfly 2 when
you turn the phone on for the first time or after a factory reset.
Depending on the amount of content, restoring your backup to your phone through
your data connection may incur additional data costs and take a long time. Using a
Wi-Fi®connection is recommended.
1. When you're asked whether you have a Google®Account, sign in to your
account.
2. Use your mobile data or Wi-Fi connection to connect your phone to the
Internet.
3. If you used your Google login credentials as your HTC Account and your backup
is in Google Drive™, tap Sign in with Google.
If not, tap Remind me later, go to the Transfer or restore screen, and select
Restore from HTC Backup.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to restore your backup and to continue setting
up your phone.
5. Slide open the Notifications panel to check if there's any notification to finish
setting up your phone.
Free apps from Google Play™will be restored in the background, and you can track
the progress via a notification in the status bar. To restore paid apps, you need to
download and install them from Google Play.
Your apps will appear on the Apps screen as they are installed. The Apps and Home
screen shortcuts will be reorganized as in your backup after all of your apps have
been installed. You may continue using HTC Butterfly 2 while apps are being restored.
